We are just setting out on a cruise to the Abaco Islands in the
Bahamas. Anyone who would like to follow our track on the web can
find it he

Cool, it looks like he's making good progress. Since the winds in the
area are light and variable he must be motoring just like Skippy always
does.

It looks like he's coming my way. It will be interesting to see if he
takes the Yacht Channel and proceeds out into Hawk Channel and the
Straits of Florida via the Channel Five bridge or if he heads up the
Intracoastal Waterway to Miami before jumping off to the Bahamas. This
time of year, with thunderstorms popping up everywhere most every morning
and afternoon he'd probably be better off motoring up the Intracoastal
and waiting in Miami for some rare, steady winds for the crossing.

But, if he's like Skippy he'll wait until a flat calm day and motor
across with sails flapping for show.

Sailing?? ~~ Snerk ~~
Wayne gave up being a sailor years ago. Now he sits in his comfy seat at
the helm of a trawler type cruiser...... doesn't even get his hair mussed,
no mater what the conditions.



Yah right! Tell that to Joe Butcher (Red Cloud) who used to type the same
nonsense about the imagined virtues of a pilot house!
